MOCON is the premier provider and innovator of package integrity solutions and has assisted the packaging industry for over 40 years to reduce packaging costs and minimize risk by developing instruments, testing services and consulting services for package integrity, leak detection, and permeation for both rigid and flexible packages.

Comprehensive food, beverage and pharmaceutical analysis services

In 2010 MOCON established Advanced Packaging Solutions, designed as a first-of-its-kind, one-stop approach for the analysis of food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, etc. and related packaging from raw material to transport to shelf life. Going beyond existing services of barrier analysis, headspace, water vapor, leak detection, burst, creep, hot tack, seal strength, coefficient of friction and vacuum decay, Advanced Packaging Solutions now provides a single-entry point for virtually any type of testing which can impact shelf life.

Rapid prototyping: 3D printing services that enable us to take design from concept to completion in a matter of days

Process laboratory services: provide the most efficient resources to test, prototype, and develop samples and processes as means to improve products and line efficiencies

Odor / flavor analysis

Microanalytics is the leader in the development and utilization of GC-olfactory techniques and ancillary devices to help resolve real-world issues relating to flavor, aroma and odor.

When it comes to off odors or aroma profiling, many standard GC techniques cannot accurately identify the important odor-causing components. The active aroma / odor component is often present at very low concentrations in a complex matrix of volatile constituents. In many cases, aromas / odors are found in the parts per trillion concentration range. The challenge to identify the active odor components requires an integrated approach to the analysis. An integrated approach means combining sensory descriptors with specialized analytical instruments.

Permeation testing

MOCON maintains the largest permeation laboratory in the world with the most advanced testing systems. It offers a variety of analytical services for use in quality control, research, and product development applications.

Screening a large number of materials in an efficient manner can be a daunting task. MOCON’s scientists are experienced at handling materials, analyzing them and providing results. The results will aid the customer in understanding which materials are going to be the best barriers for specific flavors, fuels, foods, medicines and aromas, among other applications.

Our laboratory scientists, utilizing sophisticated instrumentation, continue to develop methods to address the toughest of applications. Accelerated, accurate, repeatable methods are needed all the time. Call us, we can help you.
